Forgetful Friday Randoms

Re: Forgetful Friday Randoms

  • I just found out via FB that my SIL is now making career and education decisions based on the fact that she apparently plans to be a stay-at-home mom within a few years.

    I can't quite put my finger on why (maybe because there are a lot of reasons), but this make me go Indifferent.

    Things that make your hand find your forehead, eh?

    That seems like a bad idea...

    Happy Friday Ladies!!!

    Would someone explain to me why kids need a mid winter break?? It seams like just yesterday they were off for Christmas break, now they get 2 more days off!!

    On the positive I am going to take some time with my son today. Poor boy is surrounded by girls! So there is a little shopping in our plans for today and maybe lunch.

    He is really excited, he had been itching for a new video game. He has not gotten a new one in almost a year. His grades finally came up so now I am willing to let him have one.

    I feel like I know nothing about you.  Do you mind if I interrogate you for a minute?  :)  You have your 6th kid on the way?  Are you planning on having more or are you done at 6?  I'm very intrigued by this.  I definitely couldn't handle 6!!!  Hehehe. 

    The last conversation I had with my grandpa, I told him I was pregnant.  He said "I hope that's it for you!"  lol.  He had 6 kids.  He said something about how hard it is to raise kids in this day and age, and two should be the max. 

    (We had a good laugh and he also said congrats. Smile)

     

    Yup baby 6 willbeherein May. I am hoping for late April. Yes we are done! I have 3 from my first marrage. My hubby and I have 2 girls. He(and his mom) really wanted a boy so we decided we would try for 1 more. Thank goodness we got our boy! But we would have been done regardless. I get to stay home with the monsters and we can afford it so we figured why not!

    Hubby was able to retire from his first career at 25, so that really really help financally. That being said it is not always the best thing. He is a retired Marine. He was crushed by a 40 ton truck in Iraq in 05. It did alot of damage to his right forarm, and he is in constant pain because of it. He also had some pretty bad brain injurys that really mess with his memory.

    Draven's baby - I too am curious at 6 six kids, esp with two little ones and one on the way.  How do you keep your sanity. Stick out tongue 

    Lots and lots of practice! LOL in all honesty I really dont find it all that challenging. My older 3 are pretty much able to do their own thing at this point. 1&2 are in school full time so they are not home all day,3 has a full day every Monday and Wednesday, and every other Friday. So Most days that just leave 4 & 5 and just the 2 little ones is a cake walk, at least comparitivly. Althought I will admit that this pregnancy is kicking my butt and my house looks like a warzone because I can't reach my floor with out being in serious pain! I guess it is just kinda one of those things that you make up your mind that you are going to do it and you just do. It's not like I could change my mind at this point and I deffinatly wouldn't
